TRANSCRIPT:

Getting the COVID vaccine is extremely important for everyone because we know how bad the pandemic is and how hundreds of thousands of people have died in the United States and millions of people now have died across the world.

This is something we haven't seen in more than 100 years and one of the ways, or really the best way we're going to contain it, is to take the COVID-19 vaccine. We're very lucky that we have a vaccine so quickly and we ought to avail ourselves of it.
